Etchmiatsin( arm. Էջմիածին) the name of the mother church of the Armenian Apostolic church, the oldest cathedral in the world, which is located in Ejmiatsin city ( known also as Vagharshapat)
The origin of the name of Etchmiatsin – Etch[q] (էջ[ք])= descent + Miatsin(միածին)= the only-begotten) The Armenians named this place Etchmiatsin, because Saint Greogor the Illuminator had a dream in which the only-begotten Christ descended from heaven and stuck the spot with a golden hammer, where the Etchmiatsin Cathedral was to be built.
